The Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) works are going on at a brisk pace and 75 pillars, 170 foundations and 218 viaduct segments have already been put in place.
However, taking the possibility of the works affecting traffic flow in general and pedestrians in particular, engineers concerned have been instructed to inspect road recarpeting and pothole filling works on the Mettuguda-Nagole stretch.
Similarly, directions were issued to fill the yet to be covered potholes at Habsiguda, Ek Minar, Little Flower Junior College, Uppal and Nagole in the next few days.
These and other directions were issued during an inspection by HMR MD NVS Reddy of the works at the Mettuguda-Nagole and LB Nagar-Malakpet lines of the metro rail corridors.
He was accompanied by senior engineers and officers of the HMR, National Highways, Roads and Buildings (R&B), Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) and L&T.
The water board was asked to shift water supply and sewerage main lines from Tarnaka to Mettuguda in two weeks with HMR funds.
After testing of the newly-laid water and sewerage lines, HMR engineers will fill the trenches with quarry dust and cement concrete and recarpet the road.
The officials found that a lot of work needs to be done like removing or shifting electric and telephone poles at junctions, digging of water harvesting pits by HMR on the edges of valley points and storm water drain works at Ek Minar.
However, a timeline has been set for each of these works.
Culvert extension work on the Hyderabad nala abutting Uppal Metro Rail Depot and approach roads will have to be completed within a week.
Similarly, extension of culverts and completion of the remaining drainage works on NH-9 between LB Nagar and Malakpet by NH and R&B engineers will have to be completed by this monthend.
The NH engineers were also asked to submit estimates and design to HMR for covering the open drain near the Sai Baba temple which is a major traffic bottleneck on NH-9 in Dilsukhnagar area.
